THE majority of Hampshire's MPs have voted to approve the Privileges Committee report into Boris Johnson’s conduct.

Just six MPs voted against the committee's findings, in a humiliating defeat for the former prime minister less than a year after he left No 10.

Winchester MP Steve Brine, Meon Valley MP Flick Drummond, Romsey MP Caroline Nokes, Basingstoke MP Maria Miller, Eastleigh MP Paul Holmes, New Forest East MP Sir Julian Lewis and Southampton Test MP Alan Whitehead voted to support the report.

Fareham MP Suella Braverman, Southampton Itchen MP Royston Smith and New Forest West MP Sir Desmond Swayne didn't vote. 

Posting on Facebook, Mr Brine said: "For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever I will be voting to accept the report this evening and uphold the important constitutional principles of the democratic process."

With 354 votes in favour, MPs endorsed sanctions against Mr Johnson recommended by the committee, including banning him from having a pass to access Parliament, which is usually available to former MPs.

This comes as footage was leaked to the press which allegedly showed Conservative Party staffers partying and joking about social distancing restrictions that were in place at that time.

Previously, former PM Theresa May urged her fellow MPs to vote to back the Partygate report.

May was succeeded by Boris Johnson ahead of the 2019 elections before he was also replaced.

The second-ever female PM said that the vote would be “a small but important step in restoring people’s trust”.

Boris Johnson was shown the report before its findings were made public, seeing the politician resign as an MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

He branded the report process a "kangaroo court", claimed that the investigation was being pursued to "push me out" of Parliament and that it made "Mystic Meg claims".

Despite this, the report was released, sharing damning findings about the former party and UK leader.
